Everything that I do is to make my parents proud. My dad worked as a delivery man using a wheelbarrow. This is how he was able to fed us when we lived in the camp. My mom has faced so many challenges throughout her life, but she is so resilient.❤️❤️

Guys, it was everyday people who helped me pay for my school tuition. I would have never made it without those who invested in my education. I worked hard and hopefully made you all proud.❤️❤️

24 years ago, my mother gave birth to me while escaping from a civil war. I lived in a refugee camp for the first seven years of my life. My parents came to the USA with $0. They have sacrificed so much for my siblings and I. Today, I graduated with my masters degree.

Why do you need to mention their legal status.? They are human beings who were murdered. Have sympathy.

I’ve announced a $50K reward for info on the criminal who killed 5 illegal immigrants Friday. Also directed #OperationLoneStar to be on the lookout. I continue working with state & local officials to ensure all available resources are deployed to respond.

I shared this story about a black man who was arrested after comforted two police officers. You all have supported him so much. Although I am not a part of the organization that is raising funds for him, I am grateful for the work they are doing.

A black man confronted two police officers and asked them to stop following him. This officer threatened to arrest him for disorderly conduct. Without a reason, the officer chased him, threw him to the ground, and arrested him. Location: Lewiston, Maine

You all have called the department so much that their phone goes straight to voicemail. ✊🏾 We need those charges against Kon to be dismissed.

gofund.me/0574d5d7 A fundraiser was just created for him by a local organization. They have been working with him. Show your support. They are a trustworthy black lead group. The funds are needed for transportation because he doesn’t have a vehicle

This is a young man who is a Morehouse graduate and a educator. He came back to his community to give back and work towards earning a law degree. He should have never experienced this.

What is wrong with you.? Instead of using your platform to bring awareness, you decide to compare fundraisers.???? Weirdo.

Y’all, I have been through a lot in my life but I never thought I would witness a shooting. That was crazy. The wrong people have guns everywhere. You can have a perfect day and some weirdo will ruin it.
